Singing With Charred Skeletons

Tonight, I am here at Smokey Bones to do this week's review. This show, while part of the FKP family, is not normally manned by Her Frenchness. This show is part and parcel for a dear friend of FKP, April Wedekind. We'll we conversing with her in another post.

Upon walking into this establishment, accompanied by my dear friend Rita, I was greeted by the manager here, Wayne Burns(Who we will also be speaking with in an upcoming post). He greeted us warmly, and passed us off to his talented staff, who promptly sat us down and took out drink orders. Beer for her, soda for me (The Fuzzy One is a non-drinker). Mo, our server, is very attentive, and made sure that neither my soda, nor Rita's beer, ran dry. I found it fortunate that the day that karaoke is usually ran here (Thursday's from 9-1), is also half price appetizer night. Right, time to feed my face.

The karaoke is set up in the back corner of the restaurant, over looking the bar, the majority of the seating, and the entrance. The smooth sounds of April's rendition of Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams" floated lightly all the way across the place. The staff seems to genuinely enjoy the karaoke show, which is a rarity in today's fast paced service industry. This probably has something to do with Wayne's enjoyment of the medium, as he gets to sing too.

The menu delighted me, and the inexpensive appetizers called me. I ordered the Silders trio(6.99, normally), and they arrived before I even finished ordering them. I have got to get a hold of this time permeating order technology. Mo then gave ME a tip. Rather than bringing me the already drenched mini pulled pork burgers, she brought me the plain ones, and explained their saucing secrets. I was introduced to the table sauces and was able to flavor to my hearts content. Mmmm, KC BBQ. Om nom nom nom (ad infinitum)!

In the middle of the evening, while Wayne was singing, I was astounded, as the servers produced a Beer Pong table, of all things. Will the surprises never end? While, as earlier stated, alcohol and I run in different circles, watching people play with beer is amusing in it's self. All in all, this night eating here, and partying with the staff and patrons, and with April and Wayne, was a night that is worth repeating. And, on a plus, it is a family friendly establishment. Bring the kids, have some darn good shredded oink, moo, or cluck, and sing your ever-lovin' heart out!!



P.S. My friend Rita, who accompanied me on this excursion, wanted to mention that their draft beer was absolutely delicious!!

P.P.S Remember to stay tuned to this space over the next few days to see my interviews with both April and Wayne, plus more reviews of the FKP rotation's stops.

P.P.P.S ( wow, that's a lost of posts) The Leo is doing it's yearly Best of Louisville competition, and we need YOU to help put Teri and FKP on the map. Simply go to this link, Leo Weekly, and go to the Nite Life section, and for the Best Karaoke Bar, put in "where ever French Kiss Productions is hosting". With all of the Mafia's help, we are sure to let everyone know the Teri French and FKP is the BEST that Louisville has to offer!!!!

That's all for now, children.
The Fuzzy One.
